perf evsel: Ensure the fallback message is always written to
The fallback message is unconditionally printed in places like
record__open().
If no fallback is attempted this can lead to printing uninitialized
data, crashes, etc.
Fixes: c0a54341c0e89333 ("perf evsel: Introduce event fallback method")
